Lean Management Principles To The Creation Of Postpartum Hemorrhage Care Bundles, Bethan Faulkner
Lean Management Principles To The Creation Of Postpartum Hemorrhage Care Bundles, Bethan Faulkner
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the number one cause of pregnancy-related death in the US. The Maternity local improvement team (LIT), co-led by an Obstetrician and Board Certified Clinical Nurse Specialist found that each month the maternity unit averages 40 PPHs with 1-2 resulting in an emergency. Over a 6-month period, the LIT decreased response time for emergencies significantly. Supply retrieval time decreased by 99.9%, MD response time decreased by 81%, and Family Centered Care increased by 100%. They recently turned their attention to prevention. Given the lack of literature on preventing PPH in postpartum units, the team developed a PPH …
The Creation And Implementation Of Interprofessional Simulation Leadership Scenarios, Angeline C. Delucas
The Creation And Implementation Of Interprofessional Simulation Leadership Scenarios, Angeline C. Delucas
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
Healthcare is in a historical state of change creating an era that requires superior leadership skills. Leaders face burgeoning challenges in a competitive environment ensconced in reform. Today’s dynamic healthcare environment demands that nurse and interprofessional leaders be astute in a variety of areas including: fiscal responsibility and accountability, organizational politics, interpersonal skills, human resources, communication, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence. Some areas such as fiscal management are considered hard skills, or skills which can be taught, while others such as conflict resolution are referred to as soft skills, or skills that are learned through experience. Though soft …
Simulation Design Characteristics: Perspectives Held By Nurse Educators And Nursing Students, Jane Brekke Paige
Simulation Design Characteristics: Perspectives Held By Nurse Educators And Nursing Students, Jane Brekke Paige
Theses and Dissertations
Simulation based learning (SBL) is pedagogical method poised to innovate nursing educational approaches. Yet, despite a growing body of research into SBL, limited investigation exists regarding assumptions and beliefs that underpin SBL pedagogy. Even though key simulation design characteristics exist, the particular methods nurse educators use to operationalize simulation design characteristics and how these choices are viewed from the perspective of nursing students is unknown. Without understanding what motivates educators to design simulations as they do, it is difficult to interpret the evidence that exists to support chosen methods. Through the exploration of perspectives (points-of-view), underlying beliefs can be uncovered. …
Bsn Students’ Perception Of Satisfaction And Self-Confidence After A Simulated Mock Code Experience: A Descriptive Study, Xiaoying Ma
Master of Science in Nursing Theses
In the current healthcare environment, nurses are required to provide timely and competent responses to rapidly changing demands resulting from an increasingly expanding wealth of medical knowledge. High fidelity simulation offers unlimited opportunities to practice rare and critical events in a safe and controlled environment. Literature supports the use of simulation for the acquisition of nursing knowledge and skills. However, findings based on the students’ perceptions of satisfaction and self-confidence after these simulated experiences is inconclusive. The purpose of this descriptive study is to describe BSN students’ perceptions of satisfaction and self-confidence after a simulated mock code experience and to …
Nln/Jeffries Simulation Framework: State Of The Science Summary, Patricia K. Ravert, Julie Mcafoees
Nln/Jeffries Simulation Framework: State Of The Science Summary, Patricia K. Ravert, Julie Mcafoees
Faculty Publications
In summer 2011, a research task force from the International Association of Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL), in consultation with Dr. Pamela Jeffries, invited international nursing researchers and educators to participate in a project to evaluate state-of-the-science and existing research regarding the simulation model/framework (Jeffries, 2005, Jeffries, 2007). The model/framework was developed to define simulation education variables and provide an organized guide. The 21 researchers and educators worked on one of five teams, one for each of the five existing major model/framework constructs (Teacher, Student, Educational Practices, Outcomes, and Simulation Design Characteristics).

The use of simulation as a teaching modality has been rooted in the military, aviation, space, and engineering for centuries (Bradley, 2006). Clinical simulation allows for training of healthcare providers that might be too costly, risky, or hazardous in the clinical setting (Bradley, 2006). A variety of simulation modalities are used including virtual learning, task trainers, mannequins, and standardized patients (SPs). External demands for improved accountability of clinical performance is requiring nursing educators to reevaluate methods of teaching and how we measure nursing competence (Nehring & Lashley, 2010). Standardized patients have been used in medical school curricula to teach and …

Background
Debriefing is a critical component of clinical simulation, yet there are limited studies that demonstrate the outcomes of debriefing on learners' clinical judgment.
Method
Using the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric, this mixed-method study examined the effects of structured debriefing after 2 clinical simulation experiences on 86 junior-level baccalaureate nursing students' clinical judgment. Debriefing for Meaningful Learning© was the method used for the structured debriefing sessions.
Results
The mean clinical judgment scores of the intervention group were higher and improved more over time compared with the mean scores of those in the control group; however, the differences were not statistically …
The Bus Stops Here: Mobile Education Program, Katie Juskewitch
The Bus Stops Here: Mobile Education Program, Katie Juskewitch
Theses and Graduate Projects
Medical knowledge and technology are rapidly evolving. Nurses need to continuously adapt their practice to provide the best care for their patients and to meet the financial incentives being applied to hospitals. The need for continuous nursing education is apparent since healthcare continues to advance. A project to the develop an alternative method of continuing nursing education for hospital nurses called "bus stop education" was designed to optimize the retention of new knowledge by addressing the needs of the adult learner. The framework of a hands-on learning approach guided by Malcolm Knowles classic theory on andragogy of learning, Watson's theory …
The Effect Of A Simulation Experience On Student Perception Of Self Confidence, Ginny N. Little
The Effect Of A Simulation Experience On Student Perception Of Self Confidence, Ginny N. Little
Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects
The aim is to determine if participation in a high-fidelity simulation increases student levels of self-confidence. Thirty-eight first year associate degree nursing students enrolled in a medical-surgical course in a southeastern community college participated in a diabetes simulation as part of their course. Students then voluntarily completed a survey indicating self-confidence following the simulation. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the overall mean of student responses to each question on the National League for Nursing (NLN) Student Satisfaction and Self Confidence in Learning Tool. Students rated the teaching helpful and effective with a mean score of 4.47 (sd = .951). …
